Brett Cole's accident and current status Hey gang, Firstly, Brett is a great kid, only 17 and full of enthusiasm for bikes and recently fired up for WERA racing. The current understanding is that he was in his lane in a left hand curve and an SUV crossed over into his lane. He hit head on and somehow hit the passenger side windshield pillar. Probably that's where his shoulder/arm were damaged. I'm just assuming here. Anyway the Alabama Highway Patrol is supposed to do a reenactment to determine what really happened. Brett is at UAB hospital where he is indeed recovering slowly. As of this a.m. he does not know what happened to him and how bad off he is. But he has a lot of local people who love and support him. They are just now starting to take him off the ventilator and other tubes. That's it for now. Henry Avello #490
I am so glad that he has such a great family to support him. He will continue to be lifted up in my prayers.
I can't imagine how hard this must be, Brett. Stay strong and know that you can do anything you set your mind to! You have a lot of poeple pulling for you :up:
agreed. it is so great to hear about strong families and how they handle rough hurdles like these. this is only a hurdle and close families like this take these things as they are and survive. i don't know brett, but like many others here - my very deepest thoughts and prayers go out for brett and his family and friends.
Brett has an email address they've given out if any of you want to leave him a message or encouragement. dbcdirtbike at aol dot com
Avello490 visited Brett and got some news about the accident. I'll let Henry share the embarrassing version of the visit himself... :-D
